I'm a Cold War junkie so I gave it a try but to be honest, this game is pretty boring, there really isn't much here. It consists basically of juggling three different buttons over a range of countries that you're currently trying to capture to get your influence up, recuit more military, and reduce their stability. You can pretty much see from the screenshots all that you have to do is summed up by those 'add' buttons in the lower hud. There are no historical events, no diplomacy, no nuclear weapons at all, and the space race consists entirely of paying to advance along a set of images that give you extra global influence. Oh, and there's no save and load function either so you have to finish your game in one go - it lasts a bit over an hour. Another thing that's missing is any progression of military technology, which they aim to add in a future (paid I assume) expansion, but as for what they're selling now it's pretty stripped down. It's kind of like a board game, but not a very good one. If you want to play a game like this, you'd be much better off with Twilight Struggle, plus you can play it with a friend. I seriously doubt I'll ever play this game again.
Update: I wish I could give this game a neutral review for now. Gameplay is minimal but could be interesting once understood. Shame there is not tutorial. Information flows along fairly fast so tracking it all is a bit of a head ache. Don't forget to add the DLC so you can see the video feed, I missed it and had to ask. Will update this review as needed.

This game is interesting. It is extreamly simple but has a lot going on under the hood. There is no tutorial but one would be unnecessary. click on a country, add US/Soviet support, military or spies and then move on. Its simplicity is however, its downfall. There is no real complextiy, but for a simple game about the cold war, you could do a lot worse
这是一款冷战新作。冷战题材策略游戏不多,我对于每一个冷战题材的游戏都不轻易给出差评,这种同情心出自20年前和小伙伴们多次在铁幕降下的欧洲地图上进行纸上推演的难忘经历,这使得我很渴望类似的游戏。不过,这个游戏很boring,独立制作并不能开脱些什么,本可以做出十分精彩的界面、通过共产主义和自由主义这种惊心动魄的政权更迭和意识形态氛围渲染来抓住人心,那里有革命、游行或是骚乱可以尽情操纵,要知道,让世界在两大主义之间摇摆是一个很值得享受的过程,现在偏偏做成网页游戏一样失去了应有的“色彩”,地图也恨不得连颜色都不要涂了,也许是自知美工太差,连一些主要活动的图标都不能大大方方的展现出来。尽管如此,渐渐的你仍会发现它的乐趣,这款游戏正如某些人不可貌相一样,隐藏太深,以至于很多人在第一眼之后拒之门外而无从发掘。和几乎所有的策略游戏一样,精髓同样在于有限资源的优化分配,只是它更简单粗暴了一些,赤裸裸了一些,缺乏变数了一些,没有了形同Twilight Struggle那样极具代入感的包装过程和充满变数的卡牌。但无论如何,我愿意给它一个好评,直到我不能忍受的那一天再过来更新。
Интересная и необычная на мой взгляд стратегия, где нам приходиться вступить в противостояние двух сверхдержав. Играем за США или СССР. Цель игры - победить оппонента, захватив под своё влияние как можно больше стран мира. Достичь цели поможет правильное планирование бюджета и своевременное освоение космических технологий и запуск ракет для увеличения своего влияния среди мировых государств. Важно также не растратить весь бюджет, чтобы не проиграть. В странах можно и нужно устраивать революции для их захвата, но при достаточном влиянии сверхдержавы игрока в захватываемой стране - можно заполучить власть и мирным дипломатическим путём. Нам придётся устанавливать шпионскую сеть, а также направлять свои войска в нейтральные страны, чтобы не дать сопернику их захватить или чтобы в дальнейшем самому захватить власть в этом государстве. Из минусов можно выделить неполное руководство по игре, поэтому в некоторых игровых моментах приходится разбираться самому, так что игра также непроста в освоении, но в этом есть и свой интерес, потому как освоив и поняв как устроен игровой процесс можно получить много удовольствия. В общем и целом игра интересная как для любителей стратегий и времён холодной войны, так и просто для игроков, желающих попробовать что-то новенькое.
I LOVE Cold War and both World War stuff... But this... THIS IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE. Poorly developed, poor gameplay too! It literally only focuses on the Soviet Union and United States, THAT'S IT... What ever you do DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You will only waste precious time of your life. 2/10 Will NEVER play again. It was so bad, I refunded it...
has lots of potential, but isn't very user friendly. But if you like stragety/ cold war games this is a great one!
I enjoyed this game very much! Most of paradox games are very long and this game is perfect if you plan to play short game because of lack of time. I wish this game would have a bit more game options though. This like a chess game. Easy and simple. Hope that is growing up new competitor with paradox in face Alina DG in future. Joifule ant raise to you guys. But with multiplayer this game much better.
Забавная игруха из серии поржать и убить время, особенно если смотреть как новости видео в игре, смысл простой развивай космонавтику и политику любыми способами , главное что бы ты был в переди планеты всей!
Pretty basic gameplay, but its a captivating time sink none the less. Definitely worth a fiver. Read the manual before playing, it's simple to pick up if you've done that.
